The area
Neighbourhood: Prati
Just steps away from the chaos of the centre, Prati is the closest Rome gets to calm. Meticulously planned in a neat grid, quite unlike neighbouring Borgo, Prati is a local favourite for its aesthetic organisation and wide streets lined with a range of boutiques for every shopping fantasy. Nonnis pushing baby carriages and gossiping teens own every inch of the sidewalk, but that’s only during business hours. Once the sun sets, quirky sidestreet bars celebrate aperitivo hour, those evening cocktails that help wash away the tensions of Roman life.

It is the third longest river in Italy at almost 400 kilometers long. Rome suffered serious flooding due to its overflows. We were able to take some beautiful photos from the San't Angelo Bridge and have some good views.Visited November 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 28 February 2024

One of the fun things to do in summer is to head down to the river bank. A long line of white tents is set up alongside the river, with pop-up bars, food, games and stalls. Most of the activity happens in the evening when the lights sparkle across the water. However some of the bars are also serving drinks in the afternoon. We sat at one little bar that had lounge chairs spread out on the waters edge and looked down the river towards the Bridge of Angels and the Vatican in the distance. The tents generally start to appear in early June and I believe that they last through the summer until the end of August. Lungo Il Tevere - touted as a carnival, but just lots of tents with food and rinks, some selling market type goods Sets of stairs lead down to the river bank at pretty regular intervals so it is easy to access the riverbank.Visited June 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 15 June 2024

When heading southwest from Piazza Navona to Trastevere, I crossed the Tiber River on the Sisto Bridge.
The Sisto Bridge is over 100 meters long and made of stone, making it a very quaint bridge. The view of the Tiber River from this bridge was also very atmospheric, and it took me about five minutes to cross the bridge.
When crossing the Tiber River as it meanders through Rome, I recommend paying attention to bridges.

It is in the center of Rome, separates the two parts of the city. There are several bridges crossing the river, mostly made of stone. Some of them are very attractive f.e. Ponte Sant'Angelo.
You should go down directly to the river where is a bike and walking zone. That is a pity that Rome does not use this area, it is not in the best shape and there is neighter any attraction nor any ways where you could sit down with a cup of coffee just to see the water.

This river that bisects Rome looks lovely from a distance. Taking photos from any of the bridges that span the river a definitely worthwhile. However, I was somewhat disappointed with the detachment the river has from the rest of the city. Although I saw a walking/bike path running alongside the river, I saw no one utilizing it and between the graffiti and some unsavory looking characters lurking close to the staircases that led down to the river I felt uncomfortable to venture down. This is such a shame and a surprise as most cities (big and small) tend to incorporate a river within the urban landscape (ie: river walks, promenades). Rome seems to have neglected what could certainly be a major attraction.

This time, on a very late evening, cold but clear, walking along the Tiber offered plays of light, reflections on the water... passing an autumn tree-lined avenue which is a spectacle of nature in the city! Sometimes we don't they are words to describe what you observe and this is the case! Rome is always wonderful everywhere! 💖

The Tiber River runs through the centre of Rome, with the Vatican, Castel Sant Angelo and Trastevere on one side and the city and Colosseum on the other side.
The river is criss-crossed by bridges, some of them many centuries old.
The most famous and most beautiful bridge, with the Bernini angels is Ponte Sant Angelo. Built originally in 135AD by Emperor Hadrian, the Archangel Michael is said to have appeared here at the top of Castel Sant’Angelo, thereby ending the plague of 590AD.
Another charming bridge is Ponte Sisto, with the distinctive circular hole in the centre.
I particularly like the bridges of Ponte Fabricio and Ponte Cestio which link the ancient Jewish Quarter and Trastevere. They meet in the middle of the river on Tiber Island.
The other significant bridge to know about is Ponte Umberto I . It’s not special in its own right but it has the perfect position for taking a magical photo of the sunset with a Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica backdrop.

Nice river passing through Rome, I'd say you cannot miss it, saw it many times in our trips to Rome, also lots of nice bridges crossing it so plenty of places to admire it, not necesarily a must visit attraction but for sure you will come across it.

Lungo Il Tevere - touted as a carnival, but just lots of tents with food and rinks, some selling market type goods
Sets of stairs lead down to the river bank at pretty regular intervals so it is easy to access the riverbank.

My daughter and I recently visited Rome for a few days. We bought an open top bus ticket for a couple of days which included a river cruise.
The reason for writing this is hopefully stop anyone else from buying the river cruise, it is a complete waste of money. All you can see on the cruise are the tops of buildings, graffiti, homeless people and a dirty river full of rubbish.
For the same amount of money you can buy a ticket for the Capitoline Museum which is absolutely stunning and one of the best Museums we have ever visited.

After the first dinner in Rome, we just wanted to go to the Tiber River to have a we've-been-there kind of short walk. We ended up spending every nights there. Along both side of the riverbanks, it's full of little open-air eateries, shops, entertainment stops. There is even outdoor movie on the Isola Tiberina every night. If you still have energy after roaming around Rome, go there, pick a river-side seat, have some snack or drink, enjoy like locals do....

We bought tickets for a "ride on the Tiber" as part of Green Line Tours' Hop On Hop Off bus tour. Big mistake. The boat is NOT near any stop of the bus tour. Be prepared to hike or take a taxi. Steep stairs lead down the river. The boat itself is a pitiful example of a tour boat. They have seats on the roof of the boat but it just isn't safe (I know, we own several boats). The speakers are shot so you can't hear or understand the "tour". The river itself is just nasty. Garbage, weeds and desolate. As you pass under a few bridges you realize that the bridges are poorly maintained and now you're not so sure you want to use them. It's like the exact opposite of cruising the Seine or the Thames.
